I'm surprised to see support for antiquated technology such as paper ballots.

"Antiquated" is a loaded word that smacks of ageism. Restaurants are antiquated, too. Do you never go out to eat?

Does the future of voting not belong to online remote voting, like almost everything else?

Are you trying to say that every other country votes paperless? Because that's simply not true.

You can even buy a house from your phone now

You have obviously never bought a house, and certainly not one from your phone. Just because there's an ad on YouTube doesn't make it true.

In the future, we will know the results of the election as soon as the online polls close.

Why is that necessary? What benefit does it provide?

The future is paperless.

People have been saying that for over a hundred years. Yet, here we are, still with a durable, recordable medium that does things that paperless methods can't.

Farmers all have their own fuel supply. Mostly diesel, but also gasoline can be in the tanks. The local oil dealer will keep the tanks full.

These tanks are outside, though they could start the building near them on fire if something happened.

I wonder if the rating would be electric only after a while... I would imagine that the various authorities would create a different license, like for seaplanes and IFR. It would make some sense as mis-managing the fuel-air mixture on a small piston plane can lead to catastrophic failure. (frozen carb for ex)
You can tell them that if the vaccine does give them problems that they can seek compensation under the established CICP. Although, I don't have a lot of faith in them from my experience (so far) with the VICP.
Great question. Margins are strong so we do have wiggle room. But there will always be lower cost alternatives and we plan on being best in class for high intensity and competitive workouts. As long as our prices are in line with similar companies and we continue to create user experiences, I feel we should be in a good spot.

What signals do you mean? Brain waves measured in EEG typically range from 0.5 Hz and above.
Yeah I think HTML is a good exams of a domain spec language. Instead of putting HTML in a dead string it can be in a parsible lisp object can be manipulated with editor commands. Of course you can do the opposite and have HTML file with lisp code embedded. Ie like a jsp in Java. But with lisp all this is at your finger tips. You don't need to wait for a big billionaire company to make html syntax for you. Or unit test supported at the language level. Or whatever

Unfortunately spherical geometry is often done incorrectly (in Civilization the Earth was a cylinder, in other games planets are tori).

What kind of shooter? An Asteroids-like game on hyperbolic manifolds (both 2D and 3D) can be found in HyperRogue, although there is no gravity. Gravity in hyperbolic space is a rather problematic thing, you always get some extremely weird effects, also I believe there are no stable orbits in hyperbolic spaces.
A Corporation is a government created liability
shield that does not exist in a "unfettered capitalist"
system or rather a true free market. Corporations are
part of the government regulatory apparatus system.

I'm intrigued. (That's not sarcasm)

What's the libertarian alternative? What are examples of situations where removing the liability shields would encourage more beneficial behaviors from corporations?

It seems to me that corporations, minus the liability shield, would still be nearly as potentially dangerous. They are more or less sociopathic entities by necessity; ceasing to exist if they cease to turn profits, a thing they can only do if they compete successfully against their equally sociopathic rivals. Corporations can of course behave responsibly and generously, but this is always going to be at odds with their fundamental mission.

(While all of this sounds anti-corporation, I'm not. Private enterprise is and should be the backbone of society. It's just that it's awfully destructive, unchecked.)
>> I cannot consistently write safe C/C++ code.

I think it's going to depend on your attack surface. Could I sit down and write a web-facing server from scratch and have a reasonable expectation of safety? Probably not.
Can I write a piece of firmware for an embedded device with no internet access and a very limited serial protocol, and have a reasonable expectation of that being 'safe'? That seems more likely, particularly if I follow good practice and use available analysis tools where possible.

I think the biggest problem with these languages is that when something goes wrong (as it so often does), the keys to the kingdom are up for grabs as the whole of everything can suddenly be manipulated, to read out arbitrary memory (e.g. heartbleed)

Yes, although there may be gains there too. Electric motors can provide high torque more quickly than piston engines, and of course much more quickly than turbines. Maybe this will result in faster stall recoveries, and with new uses of motors flight envelopes might get more stable as well.

Smart Surface Sorts Signals–The “Metaprism” Evaluated
I think wine pricing is bullshit but to be fair there are two factors that can make a difference and which apply in other domains as well.

One is the "fat part of the bell curve" of taste. Consider music: people listen to music for a lot of reasons, like lyrics, lack of lyrics, beat, ability to fade into the background... Many options will satisfy, and the simplest signifiers are adequate. That's why popular headphones emphasize bass these days, for example.

And there's nothing wrong with that! In the case of wine, people who aren't really into it will simply look for signifiers for what they're in the mood for (I'm in this group): more acidic, more sweet, bubbly-and-I-don't-care-otherwise which will naturally cause the popular wines to "cluster" around one of these factors. The product is essentially a commodity.

There will be a small number of people who really get into it ("sophistication" is the technical term but unfortunately it has terrible connotations) and can parse out the differences, and who might seek out a second order factor they like. But those people are always, by definition, going to be in the minority.

The second factor of course is Vleben. This also applies well beyond wine, such as the whole "prosumer" segment, "SUV"s build on automotive chassis, etc.

If you have multiple instances, a lock of any sort won't work; you have to update the query.

If you update the query, a lock is unnecessary.

I think it's fair to assume the parent was inferring that if you were using a DB transaction, you'd rewrite the logic to use it, rather than keeping the read and the write separate from each other, and therefore make a transaction pointless.
One-ness is a shape of a thing, much like triangle-ness or circle-ness. Shapes are physical, but they can be copied, unlike the things themselves. And when meaning is associated with a shape, that meaning can then be copied and read. So we can take "one-ness" which is physically measurable and identifiable, associate a new shape such as "1", and now we have a shape with meaning detached from its origin that we can copy, read, and communicate. The source is still reality, and this physical mechanism is what makes communication possible. Gather enough of these symbols and you have a language. Combine these symbols and you have a statement. Have anything that reads and reacts to statements and you have consequences. From DNA to protein, from grocery list to grocery bag, from tweet to insurrection.

Any combination of words can form a statement. So someone comes along and says let's agree on grammar. Then someone comes along and says let's confirm with nature whether statements actually align with nature before we call it a fact. This is modern science and the scientific truth. Scientifically, nature is the single source of truth and is all true. False only exists in the gap between a statement and nature.

And the only way to get politicians to seriously consider fighting for you is:

- give them money

- offer them a political advantage over their opponents

- build up enough grassroots support among their constituents that not supporting your positions would be effectively career suicide

The best organizations utilize all three.
Do you have a source for the claim that 75% of Democrats didn't trust the 2016 election? While I've read reports about frustration with the electoral college among Hilary voters and a fear of election interference from foreign nations, I haven't read much about that level of suspicion of ballot-level fraud. I would push back on the idea that those concerns (which I don't feel qualified to speak on that true validity of) are equivalent to the idea pushed by Donald Trump that there was a scheme to legitimately steal the election, as in to produce a situation where the votes cast do not determine the winner.
A value proposition canvas is a canvas (could be a poster, could be a whiteboard, whatever) on which you put what value you propose to deliver.

A reductive process is a process where you take many ideas and boil them down to fewer ideas. The opposite would be something like a brainstorm, where you try to get more ideas.

And I don't really think you actually have no idea what "product definition" may mean. :)
These are very overloaded words, which you will understand if you look them up in a dictionary. If you do, you will also see the definitions I’m using—nobody is “re-defining” anything.

I am simply using these words because they mean what they mean, and not trying to make some broader “encoded” point about politics or whatever else. If you choose to ignore the intended meaning of my comments (which I have more or less spelled out for you at this point, no contextual awareness required), that’s not my problem, and I’m not going to follow you down that rabbit hole.

edit: If there is one political point I am sort of getting at, it’s probably the hypocrisy of older self-identified “liberals” who oppose densification/upzoning. Viewed through either a classical liberal or a left-liberal lens, using regulation to block affordable housing is not good, yet a lot of these people support it because they’re the beneficiaries of the status quo. And that, in a sense, is the attitude at the core of practical conservatism.
There's a second effect too. Let's say governments get their wish and Google/FB cave. Now Google and Facebook have a direct financial incentive to destroy news organisations, or perhaps create their own (Twitter, FB and perhaps Youtube would make incredible platforms to create a crowdsourced news agency or publication, I would love to see how far they'd get)

When the News industry is already dying, this would change the dynamic from competing for eyeballs to social media companies actively trying to destroy news media, preventing their articles from having anything newsworthy or interesting at all.

You'd think the News industry would try to avoid picking this particular fight when they're already struggling to stay alive ... But I guess you'd be wrong.
Their usernames
Strictly speaking, it can never change. The features that create safety pitfalls are still there, and they can never be removed without breaking backward compatibility. And you can't simply avoid using those features, because their use is baked into the standard library, or into some other de facto standard library that you can't realistically live without.
How would the machine predict which voters to deceive? I reviewed my printed ballot before submitting it. I'd guess it is probably more than "practically none". If 0.1% of voters did this, it would be 159633 ballots reviewed. If the tainted machines consistently changed these ballots to the same presidential candidate, ~80,000 voters would have had an opportunity to detect a dishonest voting machine. What ratio of votes would need to change in order to change the outcome? And what ratio would the bad actors predict was necessary in advance of the election?

But regardless of the above -- the design change to include printed ballots was a big improvement in security and voter confidence in the election.

Wow, that's really impressive! I'm jealous!

I live in a just ok, older, 65m^2 (700sq ft) apartment in the midwest US with one other person. Everything is electric except the water heater.

We average about 30kWh/day in winter and summer, and about 15-20kWh/day in the fall and spring.
I’m feeling it in the other direction. I’ve been lucky to live a relatively carefree and unproblematic life in the US middle-class, until the last few years where I’ve attracted a well funded legal team to stalk everything I do and find faults. Now, I think living in a low trust society sounds great because the Boomers and other optimists in my life are starting to leave me alone. They don’t doubt my story, but it’s also beyond what they can process as real—former inmates and first generation Latin and Afro folk who I work with can fully comprehend the situation of being terrorized by lawyers and their “investigators.” Suddenly I am forced to be a low-trust person, and it’s not natural or pleasant... I’m mostly Scandinavian by blood, with a little of everything mixed in.

> For a community (HN) so focused on technology and the future, I'm surprised to see support for antiquated technology such as paper ballots.

I'm not. No one understands as well as technologists how often “novel technology” represents a regression from the tried and true, and how much the cry of “new” is used to sell defective crap.

> You can even buy a house from your phone now.

This is technically partially true in that a lot (not all) home purchase and finance paperwork can be done via electronically signed documents, and if you have a tolerance for extremely bad UI you can sign those on a phone. Typically, you’ll still need some wet signatures (notarized even) at the end of the process.

But that’s, even if it was completely accurate, a different problem domain than voting. (Both have concerns for assurance, but only one also has nonattribution as a critical goal.)
A lot of aviation mistakes can be resolved with more power, which electrics could supply more quickly.
Yeah, there's a tiny smattering of cases (the most memorable ones to me being Republican voters trying to counter supposed fraud with some fraud of their own) that get caught but nowhere near enough to impact elections. Much more prevalent though is intentional voter disenfranchisement keeping people from voting and gerrymandering.
Ok so someone watched The Expanse and wrote a paper, not impressed.
What do you mean "silicon with germanium and dopants"? Implanting germanium as a dopant is already done at much larger geometries than 2/3nm. It's also not any more hazardous than implanting any other ion.
You exhale viruses. You exhale CO2. The campaign to remake society in response to these threats is, in its purest essence, a campaign to redefine the free human as a toxic animal. If successful, it will then be used to justify slavery and murder.

Norway isn’t that big - a lot of the advantages tesla has don’t matter as much there so it’s not as easily comparable.

Cloudef's comment might make it seem like it's predominantly a voluntary decision by the homeless, and I disagree with that. AFAIK most homeless people in Finland do have a substance abuse problem, though.

Edit: What actually might make this more interesting is that this could be how things are regarding homelessness in Western Europe in general, more or less, not just in a single country. I mentioned this in another comment, but AFAIK living in the streets in Finland, and quite possibly in Northern and Western Europe in general, is rather strongly connected to mental health issues and substance abuse problems. That doesn't mean that the homeless should be vilified, as both of those are illnesses and largely not a voluntary choice, but it could be something that's different about homelessness in the U.S. and in Western/Northern Europe.
Can you cite your sources? There's a lot to unpack in your post but let's just focus on a couple of things. Firstly, borrowing _does_ create money - it's how most money comes into existence. Straight from the horse's mouth:

> Most of the money in the economy is created, not by printing presses at the central bank, but by banks when they provide loans. [0]

You said:

> Borrowing does not create money in FRB, since all loans are deposits

Loans are not deposits. Loans sit on the asset side of the balance sheet and represent an IOU from the borrower to the bank. Deposits sit on the liability side of the balance sheet and represent an IOU from the bank to the deposit holder - the borrower in this case. Banks are literally in the business of swapping IOUs... Our IOUs which are not widely accepted for their IOUs which are widely accepted.

Furthermore, commercial banks make absolutely zero promises to redeem their IOUs for base money or central bank issued money, or anything else for that matter. Read the terms and conditions of your bank account to see for yourself! If the bank creates too many bad loans, then the value of their IOUs fall to take this into account.

Lastly, Central banks were not created to bail out commercial banks. The first central bank (the Bank of England) was created by the Government at the time to fund the on-going war with France. The government gave the Bank of England monopoly rights over currency issue in return for financing the war - i.e. giving them a whole bunch of IOUs on the Bank of England to pay soldiers and factories because the credit risk of the government at the time was considered quite poor.

I see...the RNA vaccine factory is useful though. Moderna announced already months ago that it is planning to have a flu vaccine next year. And for them changing the RNA sequence is really easy, so they can adapt their vaccine as the flu virus is mutating (just like what they are doing right now with coronavirus).
Thanks for the context - I had assumed that Germany was blocking it because it pertained to the US military.
They don't have to. They can work with TSMC just like Apple is doing in the first place - after finding a workaround to the current situation.
They don't run on diesel, but I think the kind of aviation fuel small planes use is pretty nasty. I've also heard it is still leaded, not sure if that's the case here or not.

Many of the boats nearby in the marina do use diesel, for some of the large ones, maybe even the high sulfur bunker crude which is nasty stuff.
